Hello, I have just had a custom PC built mainly to start looking at VR flight sims and games.
I come from a long term Mac background and am very familiar with the Mac OS and how it works.
My issue is that I have been trawling through the sites and see builds and people overclocking and using all varieties of benchmark software looking at CPU performance, GPU performance, stress tests etc and it has all become a bit confusing as there are many programs out there but I am not really sure what is the best and or what they are actually testing definitively and what is the best way to systematically test a system, perform a change and then retest the system. I know this is probably common knowledge for the advanced users on the site but I also know that you do have videos for the newbies with awareness but lack the in depth knowledge that a lot of long term builders have.
Is there a video showing benchmarks and how you guys use them to overclock a system or assess a part change (eg upgrading a graphics card)? Also I see videos of overlays of clock speed/temperature etc and FPS on games being tested but I am not sure what underlying program is producing them (I know GeForce has the FPS in the corner and I think AIDA64 does some overlays but once again...so many programs.....so confusing an array.
Is it possible to do a how to benchmark properly video for Newbies?
Cheers CheetahMan
